It's part of her Heritage

This Paramount portrait of Carole Lombard with husband William Powell (a former Paramount player who had moved to Warners) is from late 1931, as it notes Carole has recuperated from a recent illness (that forced her to bow out of a role in "The Greeks Had A Word For Them") and was working on her next film, "No One Man." (The reference "honeymoon home" is a bit misleading, as the couple had married in late June.) It's an 8" x 10" being sold this month at Heritage Auctions, and you can bid on the photo, available through 11 a.m. (Eastern) March 24, or simply get more information at http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7055&lotNo=83904.

Two other Lombard items are part of the auction as well. First, how about Carole and Cary (Grant, of course)? Here they are as a romantic couple in 1939's "In Name Only," complete with a snipe on the back and a stamp from the library at the Register and Tribune syndicate in Des Moines:

Finally, an image of the young Lombard from famed photographer Edwin Bower Hesser that we've run before, but as Heritage notes, "Early Lombard images are hard to come by, and are always top pieces for collectors." This should explain why:

Whereas the other two items have a minimum bid of $1, bids for this vintage double weight, cream-toned bromide, matte 10" x 13.25" photo begin at $150; its estimated value is $300 to $600. If you're a serious Lombard collector wanting to add a Hesser portrait, this is probably a good place to start. All the information is at http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7055&lotNo=83903.
